Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving holiday. The boys both had all week off of school, so I got my work finished Monday morning and we headed to Artesia, NM at lunch. The kids were so excited to be at Pappy and Grammy's house. We had a nice relaxing couple of days with them. We hung out, went to the movies, and just chilled. It was nice.

Lee decided my boys needed BB guns. Ryland had a good time learning to shoot.

The girls got to play with Pete while the boys were shooting.

You can always guarantee a tea party while at Grammy's.

On Thursday, we went to Hobbs to join the extended family for dinner. It was good weather, so the kids were able to play outside. They really enjoyed getting to play with some of the second cousins. We enjoyed seeing all the family.

The kids wanted to play cards like the big people.

My mother-in-law is one of 5 girls. They were all there for this holiday so we had to capture the moment.

Aunt Brenda got the kids antlers. The girls really enjoyed them.

It took us a while to get a picture because Reese kept jumping in front of the group - such a ham.

On Friday we headed to Lubbock to see my parents on our way home. Their yard was covered in leaves when we arrived. The kids didn't even make it in the house before they were asking to rake those leaves. They stayed out there for a long time raking and then jumping in the piles. Fun times for sure.

On Saturday much of my mom's family came over for dinner. My Granddad had turned 92 the weekend before so we had wanted to get together to celebrate. It was great seeing some of the family again.

It was a great Thanksgiving holiday. It was relaxing and we got to see lots of family. A great week for sure.
